Digital Multimeter Circuit Design

I have already explained components of circuit.

Digital multimeter circuit design.

For final construction solder the components onto a printed circuit board. A typical current design is made this way with the first switch part of the rotary switch and the second switch electronic. These adc convert analog value into digital number. Build the multimeter circuit on a breadboard first while determining proper range resistance values and perform all calibration adjustments there.

Digital multimeter measuring voltage to measure voltage across a point voltage divider circuit is utilized. Voltage divider to fix voltage. Most multimeters have 6 current ranges two ua two ma and two a ranges but there are meters with less or more ranges. Microcontroller converts it back into voltage and current according to code stored in program memory.

In addition the units are also shown. The resistor values i have specified are the most common values 0 99ohm instead of 1ohm and 99ohm instead of 100ohm is also common. A digital multimeter dmm is a multifunctional meter that displays its electrical quantitative values on an lcd screen. This is a wise design feature of the multimeter requiring the user to move a test lead plug from one jack to another in order to switch from the voltage measurement to the current measurement function.

Pic microcontroller have built in adc s. However instead of having to interpret the reading of an analog scale the data is shown directly in digital format on the lcd display. In each range is maximum up to 200mv. Digital multimeters dmm once called voltmeters have been described as the tape measure for engineers in the new millennium.

Next take a look at the simple digital dc ampere meter circuit. What makes a digital multimeter differ from the analog meter is its ability to display measured electrical values quickly without any computations. Create an all analog digital multimeter all analog. Feel free to alter the component layout from what is shown.

These two channels are used to measure ac voltage and current. As shown circuit diagram below. Two analog to digital converter channels are used. A digital multimeter much like an analog meter it is able to read voltage current and resistance.

With electronics and electrical circuits included in almost every. The appropriate designing determine with resistance in parallel on the input of voltmeter. Most modern multimeters are digital. Multimeter will be used in several labs and important for checking circuit when doing your.

The current measuring is nearly always done at the 100ohm resistor this saves a switch it would not be possible to. The main principle to calculate. The resistance is the voltage caused by the flow of current through the resistor. No digital circuits logic except where necessary digital.

For example we want to measure a voltage across point and the max voltage which can arrive at that particular point is 12 volts. It would be hazardous to have the meter set in current measurement mode while connected across a significant source of voltage because of the low input resistance and making it necessary to move a test lead plug rather than just flip the selector switch to a different position helps ensure. Similar to analog ones digital multimeter figure b has a dial to select its function.
